Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the encoderless determination of the rotor position of a synchronously running three-phase machine and a circuit arrangement therefor, as described in claims 1 and 9
- Synchronous electrical machines such as permanent magnet synchronous machines, synchronous reluctance machines, electrically excited synchronous machines, etc. require the high-quality field-oriented control usually the information about the
- voltage-space pointers are six (six) active space-phasors of equal length (which are proportional to the DC-link voltage of the inverter), each offset by 60 degrees (electrical), and two (two)
- Half-bridges of the three-phase inverter are at the same potential, ie either positive or negative DC link potential.
- Pulse patterns depend to some extent on the strand inductances, which in turn depend on the rotor position due to geometric axisiness (reluctance, due to different magnetic conductivities as a function of the rotor position) and / or due to saturation effects in the magnetically conductive material in the rotor and stator.
- a disadvantage of the method for the encoderless determination of the rotor position, especially at low speeds was previously that measurement pulses or measurement sequences are impressed that cause acoustic emissions in the form of whistling or noise and also interfere with the current control.
- inverter current regulations are known in which exclusively active in three different room pointer directions active converter states without
- the object of the invention is to provide a method for encoderless rotor position determination up to and including standstill and a circuit arrangement for this, which avoids these disadvantages and at the same time has a simple structure.
- known co-ordinate systems are, for example, the stator-fixed, the rotor-fixed or the rotating field-fixed coordinate system).
- the inventive method for the encoderless determination of the rotor position of a synchronously running three-phase machine is characterized in that the detected current increases are transformed in a computer unit in a measuring direction fixed coordinate system and further in symmetrical components and at least one of these current increases calculated symmetrical components, which with double electrical speed , Simple electrical speed and zero speed circulating, is used for rotor position determination, wherein at least the working up to zero speed and rotating at twice the electrical speed symmetrical
- Component evaluated and from this the electrical rotor position of the machine is determined.
- Ausmaschine is found, that is only because of measurements of the currents for the purpose of determining current increases, as it is known from the prior art, for example via measuring resistors, the converter-fed machine is controlled and controlled.
- a simple mechanical construction of the machine is possible because no positioning of position sensors or encoders is needed, which would also need to be calibrated accordingly.
- the basic idea is to use a special PWM that only uses active voltage space vectors and, in addition to the state of the art, to determine the
- Voltage space pointer specified which uses only active space pointers. So no zero space pointer is used as with usual PWM patterns. Going beyond this prior art, it is shown in this invention how to evaluate such a voltage sequence using only active voltage space pointers, in addition to approximating the voltage space vector desired by the current control to detect current increases occurring during the active voltage space hands are metrologically accessible to additionally determine information about the current rotor position.
- the current increases in the base points of at least two half-bridges of the converter are detected. This is advantageous if the evaluating arithmetic unit is connected to the DC link in terms of potential, because it can be used to carry out a potential-based current measurement using inexpensive measuring technology.
- a high-quality evaluation is shown in a further embodiment of the invention.
- the component rotating at a single electrical speed is also evaluated in addition to the component rotating at twice the electrical speed.
- Embodiment is that the rotor position is calculated via two channels, wherein the information channel that evaluates the rotating at a single rotor speed component, a signal that contains improved information with increasing speed.
- the information channel which evaluates the component rotating at twice the rotor speed, delivers a quality which is largely constant over the speed.

This is the case, for example, when the current measurement in the DC link is detected via a single measuring element.
- the advantage of this is that a very cost-effective solution with good accuracy of the rotor position detection is possible.
- the variables determined according to the rules of the symmetrical components are fed to a computing unit which derive at least one of the state variables "rotor position", "rotor speed”,
- the average inverse differential inductance index is used for monitoring the machine condition with regard to impermissible impedance ratios. This can, for example
- Winding short circuits, line interruptions, etc. are detected very quickly and appropriate measures are initiated in good time.
- the object of the invention is achieved by a circuit arrangement in which the current detection unit is connected to a current and Stroma numblesausêt, which is connected on the one hand with a transformation unit for the transformation of current increases in the measuring direction fixed coordinate system and on the other hand with a
- Component evaluated and from the electrical rotor position of the machine (4) is determined, so that no position sensors for determining the rotor position are needed, which costs and especially error-prone components can be saved.
- an embodiment is advantageous, in which the evaluation unit is connected to the transfer of the inverse inductance index to the monitoring unit. As a result, an additional engine monitoring in a simple manner possible.
- the circuit arrangement according to the invention is characterized in that there is a synchronously running three-phase machine fed by a converter, wherein the system is designed with a current measurement in one of the said variants and the Current measurements are fed to a computer that performs the evaluations according to the theory of symmetrical components and as a result at least the rotor position, often the rotor speed and possibly a load torque estimate or other state variables for field-oriented control, which on the computer system

- a current detection unit 5 supplies the detected currents to a current and current rise evaluation 6 in a computing unit 7, which on the one hand the
- Transformation unit 11 transforms the current increases 10 in the measuring direction fixed coordinate system and forwards them to an evaluation unit 12, which evaluates according to the theory of symmetrical components at least one of the components which rotate at twice electrical speed, with simple electrical speed and zero speed.
- the determined angle information is, preferably via a
- the field-oriented control 20 is provided. On the basis of its setpoint values (for example speed, torque), this field-oriented control 20 calculates current setpoint values 21 according to the implemented control algorithm and supplies these as setpoint values to the current control 9, which calculates therefrom a setpoint voltage space pointer 22 using the evaluated currents 8. This is implemented in the described PWM unit 23 in a pulse pattern, which uses only active voltage space pointer and controls the Ha lbmaschinen the inverter part 1 via control commands 24.
- setpoint values for example speed, torque
